Stu opened his eyes. “Yeah? But I can swallow really well.”

Raven started to answer that little dig but lost his train of thought as Stu shifted, rubbing his hardening cock against Raven’s thigh. Fuck, the feel of Stu heated his blood. It had been centuries since someone had turned him on this much. Raven trailed kisses down to a patch of skin at the base of his throat, then nipped the skin there but didn’t break it. He didn’t know who he was teasing more—himself or Stu.

He soothed the small hurt he’d inflicted, and Stu sighed with pleasure. Then he gasped as Raven rubbed his fangs against him. He snuck one hand under Stu’s shirt and fanned his fingers across his stomach. The muscles jumped under his hand.

He bunched the material under Stu’s chin, holding it up with his hand. “How lovely. And so perky. Needy little nipples too,” he whispered in Stu’s ear.

“Raven, please.”

Raven kissed the shell of Stu’s ear. “Raven, please, what?”

“Touch me!”

Raven laughed breathlessly, his fingertip easing over a nipple. “But I am.”

“Raven!”

“Beg,” Raven whispered.

Chapter Three

RAVEN DIDN’T need to feed, but this human’s scent was mouthwateringly delicious, so why the hell not? It was a deep, earthy scent that reminded Raven of the woods after a light rain, with an electric hint of metal. It brought back memories of another time in his life, memories that had no place here.

“Beg? Are you sure you won’t be the one begging?” Stu teased.

Raven chuckled as he unbuttoned Stu’s jeans. He needed to get his snack naked, then they’d see who did the begging before the night was done.

Just as he slipped his fingers into Stu’s underwear, there was a soft knock on the door.

Raven swore silently in his head. His bartenders had clearly seen him take a human back there, so they wouldn’t be knocking unless there was something wrong.

“Okay, what?” Stu asked.

Perceptive human, wasn’t he? “It appears as if something has come up.”

“Besides me?”

Raven gently squeezed the hard cock in his hand. “Unfortunately so.”

“Duty calls, huh?”

“Again, unfortunately so. But depending on the issue? We may be able to pick this up momentarily. I do need to see what’s wrong, though.” Raven slipped his fingers out of Stu’s underwear.

“I understand.” Stu rebuttoned his pants.

Irritated with the entire situation, Raven didn’t attend to business quite as fast as he normally would. Instead, he crowded the human, buried his nose into his throat, and inhaled deeply.

Stu laughed softly as he ran his hand down Raven’s long hair. “What are you doing?”

“Trying to memorize your scent. I hope you taste as fabulous as you smell.”

“Just so you know? That doesn’t creep me out at all. And I’m not being sarcastic. I totally mean it.”

If only Raven had time to bite Stu, but he didn’t. That wouldn’t be fair to either one of them, and when he finally did get the chance to indulge, he didn’t intend to rush. “I know. I can smell that on you.”

Reluctantly, Raven stepped away as there was another soft knock. “While I deal with this, why don’t you hang out on the dance floor? Hopefully this won’t take long, and I will find you later.”

“You think you can find me in this mad crush?”
